The littleBits Korg Synth Kit sounds great, but it’s exceedingly hard to use for musical purposes because its oscillators don’t stay in tune for more than a few minutes at a time. After a few frustrating afternoons of trying to record a synth lead with this thing, I decided the only way that I would be able to use it is if I created a multisample out of it.

Here’s what the waveforms look like:

So…after painstakingly tuning each one, I sampled each note over six octaves, set loop points, then turned it into a multisample.

– Fixed the square wave loop points in the Ableton instrument.
– Set pitchbend to +/- 2 semitones in Ableton instrument
– Added support for modulation wheel to the Ableton instrument
– Added support for low-pass filter cutoff and resonance to the SFZ instrument
